The 5-time Rejected Luna Queen

look on his face. "Who’s he? Do you know him from somewhere?" He questioned Clara who instantly darted her gaze at him,

She cocked her head backward to see Alpha

Bryan still standing in his position and staring at her

with an annoying smirk on his face and turned her

gaze back at Tyson,

"I do. We met once through a friend and that’s all. But I barely remember him since it was long ago." Clara lied and thankfully, Tyson was able to believe her lie,

"Dexter’s over there, baby; you should go meet him. I would be with Amelia." She uttered and he nodded his head before letting go of her hand. As he walked away, she took in a deep breath and tried to calm her racing heart down,

"What the hell is he doing here? He isn’t even an Alpha in North America!" Clara half yelled, but I held her hand, giving her signs that he wasn’t too far from us.

"Let’s go have our seats first," I muttered and we both walked away. I watched Clara nervously place her hand on the table as she shut her eyes for a second and I knew she was so scared. She was scared that her mate was here and anything could go wrong, especially with Tyson’s presence here,

"Take it easy, Clara, we’re definitely going to find a way out of this."

"Nothing can go wrong, Amelia. I have a feeling Tyson’s about to do something big tonight. I think he’s going to ask me to marry him here,"

I widened my eyes in shock, "How did you..."

"He’s been so nervous right from home, and I saw a ring in his suit jacket today as well. If he does, my father has no reason to say no because of Dexter’s victory and Tyson’s key role in it. I don’t want this to get ruined." She uttered,

I watched her call on a wine server holding a tray filled with glasses of wine and she collected one,

In an instant, she gulped down everything and placed the glass on the table, "Let’s get you out of here." I finally broke the silence. This was the only good idea I could come up with at the moment, but Clara stared at me with a shocked expression, "What?" She responded sharply with a fixated gaze at mez

"That’s the only way to avoid anyone finding out that your mate is here, Clara. We need to get you out of here before anything goes wrong. I’ll explain to Dexter and Tyson that you weren’t feeling so good, so you had to leave."

"What about the proposal?’

"It doesn’t matter right now, Clara." I held her hand as I continued, "All that matters right now is to get you as far away from your mate as possible before something goes wrong."

She nodded her head and picked up her bag immediately, "We need to hurry." I muttered to her.

As Clara took a step ahead of me, she suddenly staggered backward, holding her forehead,

I was quick to hold her shoulder before she could fall, "Clara, what’s wrong?" I questioned worriedly as she hissed loudly in pain and groaned afterward with her eyes shut, "Clara..." I called again, but as soon as she opened her eyes, they were no longer the same color but had changed to golden yellow, and I heard her call out loud afterward,

"MATE! MATE!"
